Did a little campaigning for him back in the day. He's very intelligent, and did an excellent and articulate analysis of the damage tRump is doing to this country on Rachel's show tonight.

He has quite forcefully said he's not running for office again. Like Gore, we were robbed of a man that would have been a great president. If you're not interested in what he has to say, its your loss.
